Right I've got you. Well I'm kicking myself. I never recorded the IP number
at the time. I did a lookup on it at the time and it was USA somewhere, but
didn't make a note of it. I've found out today that the access log isn't
archived (it is now) so there's no way I can trace it. I'll know better the
next time though.
Thanks for the info guys.
